Interesting story?

[WVAPPeer]

WCYB had a story last night that Bristol Motor Speedway had talked with ETSU about playing a game there. They specifically mentioned Appalachian State as a possible opponent. Would it be worth giving up a home game to get the publicity that would come with playing there?

What would the attendance be?

Virginia Tech is saying there could be as many as 160,000 seats for the Tennessee game -
What do you think we could pull BS? --- my guess would be a gigantic amount of aluminum

BMS seats 167,000. UT has already sold their initial allotment of 40,000 tickets and has asked for more. VT has not started selling tickets yet. The BMS general manager says it will be a sellout. Somehow, I doubt that App vs. ETSU would sell that many.

As has been said before, if we were guaranteed seven figures, national TV and over 100k attendance, then it might be worth doing. I don't think anything will come from it, but I thought it was worth mentioning here just because we came up in the discussion.

I wasn't too warm to the idea (at least as much as the UNCC game every year in BOA Stadium), but you do put forth a compelling argument.
